Article Abstract
We report the case of two girls from a rural community in the Peruvian Amazon who were exposed to the rabies virus, with fatal outcomes in both cases. The reemergence of rabies in this endemic area after more than 11 years of successful control through massive immunization policies is highlighted in this report. In these cases, exposure occurred through contact with a domestic cat, although bat bites remain the most common source of rabies transmission in the region. Adopting a One Health approach and reinforcing periodic mass immunization campaigns are essential to prevent further outbreaks in endemic rabies zones.

Background: Borealpox virus (previously known as Alaskapox virus) is an Orthopoxvirus species first identified in a patient living near Fairbanks, Alaska, in 2015; the source of the patient's infection was unknown. Six additional borealpox cases have been identified through 2023.
Methods: We conducted interviews to ascertain travel history and potential exposures for the six patients, trapped small mammals for orthopoxvirus testing, and performed a phylogenetic analysis of viral DNA sequences.

Cambodia is endemic for rabies, a fatal zoonotic viral disease transmitted through dog bites. The Institut Pasteur du Cambodge through its Rabies Prevention Center is the main institution in charge of rabies prevention and surveillance in the country. Its main tool for prevention is post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for bite victims.

Rabies is a dangerous viral neglected tropical disease and infects humans, causing big problems for health authorities in Ethiopia. Though PEP is available, still there is insufficient awareness, difficulties of accessing to healthcare and logistics issues still make it hard for some to properly follow the rabies vaccination schedule. The primary aim of this study is to measure how properly the anti-rabies vaccine is given and to determine which factors influence the schedule among patients in Addis Alem General Hospital, Bahir Dar.
